If you missed the Radiusexhibition there is still time to catch it before it closes. Your last chance will be Wednesday September 30th, 2015 - the day of Bar Flies: Take a Walk, so you can have a full day of MoW fun! Stop by MoW in Tempe before strapping on your walking shoes for the evening event.

Gallery hours for the Museum of Walking are every Wednesday from 2pm-6pm for Fall 2015. Our new intern, Kyle Daniels, an Intermedia undergraduate student at Arizona State University, will be around the museum during regular hours on Wednesday afternoons. So, stop by to meet him and he can introduce you to the recently updated Museum of Walking Research Institute (MoWRI).

On October 10, 2015 MoW will gather in Douglas, AZ to walk Postcommodity's Repellent Fence installation. As fans of this work we are inspired to experience this land-based artwork and socially engaged project. MoW is also looking forward to other public events planned for October 9-12, in conjunction with Postcommodity's installation.

Silent Walks this year will be organized by Curators of Walking and local artists, Laurie Lundquist and Angela Ellsworth. Join them at various times throughout the year to explore our desert surroundings and participate in these unique experiences. More details can be found below or on our website.

The Museum of Walking, along with Scottsdale Public Art, invites you to observe a section of our urban landscape as you take a guided group walk from Valley Bar to Crescent Ballroom. Upon arriving at Crescent, you will be invited to post a map of your own walk before listening to the night’s featured writers read works inspired by their walks of the same route.

FEMINISMS AND RHETORICS CONFERENCE 2015DESIRING LINES:WOMEN WALKING AS MAKING

A collaborative interactive presentation by Adriene Jenik and Heather Lineberry, created in association with Angela Ellsworth.

As part of the Tenth Biennial Feminisms and Rhetorics Conference, Adriene Jenik and Heather Lineberry will invite conference participants to walk with them in a unique interactive experience.

Adriene and Heather, will lead participants on a silent intentional walking procession through a thoughtfully chartered accessible route from the conference location through the Diane and Bruce Halle Skyspace Garden (designed by landscape architect Christy Ten Eyck) to Air Apparent the contemplative, intimate architectural environment created by public artist James Turrell, located on the north-west corner of the ASU Tempe Campus.

Upon arrival the collective silence will be broken in order to share observations of this silent group walk, read reflections on walking, and share information about women artists who have used walking as a means to create political, poetic, and environmental works.

Bringing together artists who each incorporate aspects of wanderlust and physical mobility in their creative process, this panel will discuss the specific strategies and experiences of artists who situate their works in a nomadic context as part of the exploration of New Frontiers in Sculpture for the 25th International Sculpture Conference being held in Phoenix November 4-7, 2015.

Reacting against the historically permanent and monumental nature of sculpture, many artists are incorporating mobility into their practice as a way to actively engage a variety of populations. This physical mobility allows the artists to transgress economic and cultural barriers to forge new networks and insights along the way.

Outwardly Mobile: Wanderlust and Physical Mobility in Contemporary Sculptural Practice is one component of the larger 25th International Sculpture Conference: New Frontiers in Sculpture being held from Wednesday November 4 to Saturday November 7 in Phoenix, Arizona.
